All mediawiki/* repos are now being replicated, and have the same name as in Gerrit (with the caveat that slashes "/" are changed to dashes "-" due to Github naming conventions).
;) you mean naming "limitations".
Yeah...never did really understand why Github did that.

It's probably because they use urls like: https://github.com/dantman/mediawiki-core/blob/skinrewrite-private/includes/...
If they let you use / in repo names. It would be hard to separate the repo name from the action, branch, etc... Especially if you use a reponame such as 'mysite/downloads'.
That said that's their fault for not doing something fancy to the urls to support /. eg: In gareth I use http://localhost:8000/p/gareth.git/remotes/3d4df4437416dc98a235f29ffb712be40... The .git lets me know where the project name terminates. Though I could have instead used something like /p/{mediawiki/core}//remotes/...
